ASSIGNMENT
(1) Read text 2.3: Eukaryotes. (2) Practice questions in Tiger, p 24. I will not collect these so see me if you have any questions after checking answers in the back of the book. (3) Answer questions on Google Doc (see below) on paper since you have to diagram... (Optional-not assessed) One of the DP test questions shows a Prokaryote Diagram (click link to see) and asks the student to label structures including the "mesosome." See the mesosome link below and describe the role of this structure; validate your description with ≥ 2 GOOD references outside of Wikipedia.

PRACTICAL







ASSIGNMENT
(1) Correct DCP; due next class
(1) answer the question, "Discuss possible exceptions to cell theory" in writing on paper (2) Read 2.2 before next class.
(1) Read p 10-21 in Tiger and add notes to your 2.1 study notes under the assessment statements.

(3) Read 2.2 and compile list of specific terms from text as well as Tiger p. 22. Use these terms in every possible answer!
(4) On paper, write 2.2.1-2.2.2 "assessment statements" as headings and write complete answers beneath each heading. Be sure to use vocabulary! (5) 2.2.3 write assessment statement as heading and add two photographs (ie. find them and print them out) to your study notes to answer this assessment statement
(6) Please email links for your two photos to Mr Reimer with subject line "2.2.3 links"
(7) Write a paragraph to answer 2.2.4 Make sure this includes information from text and Tiger. In this answer, underline phrases/concepts which you think would make good marking scheme if you were a teacher testing this question. You may answer in point form - but don't just write single word bullet points
(8) Test on 2.2 on Monday (roughly same length as last test; 30 points ± 10)

(1) Students collected transmittance data for their "beet juice" in different salt concentrations. (2) Each student received a lab notebook in which they should begin writing ALL raw data from here forward for every practical they do.
(1) Collect student raw data (last day assignment). (2) Show students criteria for DCP. (3) Using IA guide, review table and graphing requirements.
(1) Collect DCP (revised) from students in hard copy, (2) Give students marking scheme for objectives 2.1 and have students grade each other using IB method and question-point system

ASSIGNMENT
(1) Students should produce DCP: Data Collection and Processing for this beet lab. The product must be done in Word or Pages or similar format (other application is fine if submitted in PDF). Please submit product to <reimerj@gsis.sc.kr> before 20:00 on Tuesday, Sept 1. See "IA handbook" for details; email if you have questions.
(1) Students should revise their DCP to complete all requirements according to IA guide; due next class. Please bring hard copy to class AND send electronic copy with filename AND email subject as: D_beet_DCP_name.
(1) Students make new experiment out of beet lab. Write this "Design" as formal lab design. Make sure to change ≥ one major aspect; due Monday beginning of class. For questions refer first to photocopied "Student Guide to Internal Assessment" first and email me if that is not clear. Remember that your Design should follow most recent syllabus (& photocopies I just gave you this week are NOT for latest syllabus).

Students put ALL data from this lab into tables for DCP portion of practical report. (Next day will assign processing of data.)

OBJECTIVES
2.1 - 2.1.10



LESSON,
ACTIVITIES,
PRACTICE

Read textbook 2.1 (begins on p 12 in HL text or p16 in SL text) as you read make an outline by hand with the IB objectives as headings and your written answers clearly articulated underneath.
2.1.4 - find a web page (or textbook) which lists the size of the requires structures listed in the objective. Make a table on your notes which lists the structures found in the objective and record their sizes. Draw diagrams for each of the organelles (shapes will be approximate of course) so that you are drawing them to scale.
2.1.5 - Solve calculations on first page of PLANT CELL SCALE.pdf
Instead of have a paper test on topic 1, Statistical Analysis, each student will do a summative by making a visual presentation to teach the objectives. In other words, make a presentation which another student could look at to learn the objectives for topic 1. Be sure to reference your graphics and information (you can just use the URL if you get them from the web). Please submit your presentation as a Google Presentation and share with Mr. Reimer as editor/collaborator.
View this Cell theory presentation by Mr. Taylor. On the slides are a number of problems as you go through the presentation. Please complete each of the problems before class on Monday.

PRACTICAL
[We will finish the beet lab when you return to school. It will keep in the freezer; no problem]



ASSIGNMENT
